Explanation:

1. The Aztec Empire was located in Mesoamerica (not South America).
2. The Inca were a separate civilization in South America; the group that founded Tenochtitlán was the Mexica (an Aztec group).
3. The Aztec used chinampas (floating gardens) for farming, not agricultural terraces (which are more associated with Andean civilizations like the Inca or with civilizations like the Maya in some cases, but not the Aztec's primary farming method in their lake - based environment). The part about creating an alliance is correct.

Answer:

• "South America" should be corrected to "Mesoamerica".
• "Inca" should be corrected to "Mexica".
• "agricultural terraces" should be corrected to "chinampas (floating gardens)".
